According to Mike's calculations, their voyage would take at least a week, and that was under ideal circumstances. Of course, if there were any accidents, they might never return!

Li Chenzhou didn't object to this timeframe. There was no use in rushing. Since his followers were all safe, he didn't need to worry.

Although he and Gray Bear had left due to an accident, Duan Lei was still there, along with the Dark Blood Chariot and Li Yunshan's zombie squad. Not many things could cause them trouble.

Moreover, Li Chenzhou's slaughter points had been increasing rapidly during this time, at least ten thousand a day. Duan Lei and the others must be working hard.

Zhang Hu's marker was still in Qing City. He didn't know if that guy had destroyed all the beam cannons there. He'd have to wait until he got back to find out.

"Boss! There's a small island over there. Should we go take a look?"

On the third day of their voyage, Mike suddenly found Li Chenzhou, pointing to a black dot in the left front.

"It's a large island, part of Australia. It has jungles and mountains. It used to be a tourist destination. I think there should be survivors!"

"Survivors?"

Li Chenzhou frowned. If it were an empty island, he might consider going. After all, being on the ship all day, rocking back and forth, made him feel like he had no roots. It would be nice to rest on land.

But if there were survivors on the island, Li Chenzhou was a little hesitant.

What if the survivors wanted to come with them? The warship had used up some supplies these days, so there was some space, but if there were too many people, there wouldn't be enough room.

Besides, Li Chenzhou wasn't very interested in helping these people. He wasn't a fan of Australians.

"Boss! Why don't we go take a look? Maybe… there's something like that thing over there?"

In the end, Gray Bear's words changed Li Chenzhou's mind.

That's right, it was worth a look. What if there really was a Devourer? He'd be in luck!

Nicholas hadn't shown his face these days. After learning that Li Chenzhou wanted him to study the Devourer's arm, the guy was ecstatic. He immediately locked himself in the lab with three former lab assistants and had been busy ever since.

Last night, Li Chenzhou went to ask about the results of the research. To his surprise, he actually got some information!

First of all, the Devourer's body tissue cells were very special, unlike any cells he had ever seen.

These cells had strong regenerative abilities and were highly phagocytic, even using some of the devoured substances to enhance themselves!

Moreover, Nicholas's research found that the thin tentacles in the crack on the arm had the function of digestive organs. In other words, Li Chenzhou's guess was correct: the crack was the Devourer's "mouth" for eating.

This surprised Nicholas and made him even more enthusiastic about his research. He had gathered a lot of information from just this arm. He also told Li Chenzhou with certainty that the owner of this arm was a life form much more advanced than humans.

At least, he was certain that a creature with these cells would be unlikely to get sick and would have a long lifespan. Nicholas even said that he was confident that he could find a way to cure cancer within a year using these cells.

This conclusion made Li Chenzhou depressed, but thinking about the Devourer's technology, he didn't refute Nicholas. He just told Nicholas that humanity's greatest enemy now wasn't cancer, but zombies.

This may have inspired Nicholas, who had a sudden idea to verify whether these creatures' cells could resist the zombie virus. If they could, he might be able to develop a serum against the zombie virus!

This was good news, but Li Chenzhou and Nicholas were frustrated because… they couldn't find any zombie virus now! There were no zombies at sea!

Living in the apocalypse without seeing zombies was what everyone had hoped for, but now it had become a source of frustration for Li Chenzhou and Nicholas!

But there was no way around it. At most, they could find mutated beasts at sea, but mutated beasts didn't have zombie viruses. Although both mutations were caused by Hell's Silk, the direction of mutation was completely different!

However, the appearance of this island excited Nicholas because it was a tourist destination and there would definitely be zombies. He wouldn't have to wait until he returned to the East to start his research.

Moreover, Nicholas had told Li Chenzhou that one arm was too little, because he consumed some every time he did an experiment. Even though Nicholas was frugal enough, he still used up half an arm.

So, he wanted Li Chenzhou to bring him more of these limbs. Gray Bear's words reminded Li Chenzhou of Nicholas's request!

If there was another Devourer here, Nicholas's request might be fulfilled. The only thing to worry about was that this thing could self-destruct.

However, after the last Devourer's self-destruction, Li Chenzhou understood a little more. Their self-destruction seemed to require activating the small metal cube that appeared on their chest and using the tentacles in the cracks of their palms!

If that was the only way to activate self-destruction, then Li Chenzhou was confident that he could stop him before he activated it—he could just cut off his hands, right?

However, he didn't know if the Devourer had the same abnormal recovery ability as the Giant Tyrant. He had killed the last Devourer with a surprise Deadly Raid, and that guy didn't have a chance to use his recovery ability!

Moreover, judging from the way he killed the Devourer, he was different from the Giant Tyrant. At least, the Giant Tyrant was still alive and kicking even with his head gone, while the Devourer was forced to activate self-destruction after he pierced his brow.

"Mike! If we go to that island, will it deviate from the route? How much time will it waste?"

Li Chenzhou turned to look at Mike beside him and asked.

"This island is right next to the route! If we detour to land on the island and then return to our route, it will take about eight hours!"

Mike replied:

"Of course, I mean the time it takes for the ship to approach the island and then start up again to return to the normal route. Landing on the island and staying on the island are not included!"

"Okay! Then let's turn around and take a look. Let's give everyone some time to rest! But be careful! There might be something on the island!"

Li Chenzhou nodded, pointing to the island. Mike agreed and immediately went down to give orders. The warship slowly turned its direction and sailed towards the island…
